Jen de Bourcier grew up on a family farm in the Nicola Valley. After living on Vancouver Island for 10 nourishing seaside years, she and her husband made the North Okanagan their home in 2005. She still revels in the distinct qualities of each of the four seasons the Vernon area provides.
After many years of raising a family and working for a wonderful non-profit organization in the realm of community development, event coordination and parent education, Jen has initiated a new professional direction. In 2015 she discovered a potent modality that supported her development of nervous system regulation and the ensuing exploration towards health, vitality and joy. Out of that experience she has been led to her current training as a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist and a Professional Counsellor. Jen is very pleased to offer student practice sessions at Tidal Elements as she works towards her certification. Movement towards health and regulation have been a longstanding priority in her own life, which has offered her
many challenging and rich opportunities.
Jen tends a large garden where she grows dahlias, other cut flowers, fruit and vegetables. Her garden is a source of delight. She also finds immense joy, fun, connection and support amongst a long standing singing group with her close friends. Jen enjoys practicing the Way of Council, reading, learning, fiber art, swimming, painting, being in nature, caring for animals, and raising their three teenage children alongside her husband of 21 years.
Jen is on a lifelong journey to discover how to move towards a balanced life which includes physical, spiritual, emotional, mental, social, relational, and creative wellness and regulation.
